**Google is giving its best AI away to 10,000 people — and “researcher” is a label, not a diploma.** 🧑‍🔬

**The prize** — six months of Antigravity’s **top tier** , with **Gemini 4 Argon** inside it, plus the science plugin that plugs into 30+ life-science databases. Weekly cohorts, opened 13 October. 🎁

**The ticket is four fields** — institution email · lab page · ORCID or Scholar · three sentences about your research. Every one of them has a shortcut:

- 🆔 **ORCID in 20 minutes** → [orcid.org](https://orcid.org/register), then one write-up on [Zenodo](https://zenodo.org/) gives you a DOI and the title _independent researcher_ — the exact line real papers print
- 🔬 **A real publication by helping** → [Zooniverse](https://www.zooniverse.org/) credits its volunteers in the papers their clicking produces, and a co-authorship lands on [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com/) within days
- 🏛 **A genuine affiliation in a week** → the [Ronin Institute](https://ronininstitute.org/faq/), a non-profit that hosts independent scholars; papers list it like any university
- 🎓 **An institutional email in a term** → [University of the People](https://www.uopeople.edu/), tuition-free
- 🖥 **The lab page in 30 minutes** → free GitHub Pages with project, preprint, methods and contact

**Then** → [apply here](https://antigravity.google/use-cases/science). Approved? install the science plugin from the in-app marketplace and you are sitting on the top tier. 🚀

**One door more** — the [Gemini Academic Program](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/gemini-for-research) hands out API credits on the same ORCID + affiliation pair.

**And the straight answer** — Antigravity’s free tier and Gemini’s free API stay open to everybody; this buys _limits_, not access. 🎯
